Figuring out which signal actually matters for what you're building is exactly the kind of thinking Build with Gemini XPRIZE wants to see. Learn more + Register: https://t.co/ZndCkhdKQb

Someone pulling out a credit card for your product — even for $1 — is one of the strongest signals you can get, says @OfficialLoganK. You don't need massive scale. you need to earn the right to ask for that dollar. And depending on your product, going the opposite way — free, as wide as possible — can be the right call too.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

The idea: Let's film the Moonshots podcast in front of an audience

The result: 28,000+ filmmakers and builders across 100+ countries competing for $5M across 2 XPRIZEs.

If you're building right now, this is exactly the mindset Build with Gemini XPRIZE wants to see — ship something real, ask for real commitment. Learn more + Register: https://t.co/ZndCkhdKQb

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

Stop building free plans and waitlists. @FarzaTV says charge money day one — even a preorder, refundable if you don't ship. His example: a guy building a sleep device had a waitlist instead of asking for cash upfront. A clear "no" from a paying customer tells you why. A free signup tells you nothing.

We're live NOW with @OfficialLoganK on how he moves fast — taking initiative, iterating quickly, and building AI products people actually want instead of demos. Watch here: https://t.co/LnJ47gI2jX

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

On September 25th I'm putting 1,500 builders, creators, and optimists in one room in LA to give away over $5 million live on stage.

We're calling it the Oscars for Optimists. One night for the people actually building the future instead of fearing it.

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

Today at 2pm PT, @OfficialLoganK (Google AI Studio, ex-OpenAI, ex-Apple ML) joins us live to talk about how he moves fast — taking initiative before waiting for a perfect plan, and treating iteration speed as his biggest edge. Register here: https://t.co/oN1iv6buhQ

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

@KhashayarKash @PeterDiamandis Hey Kash, can you send the email you used and I'll look into this for you

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

You don't need a studio budget to start telling stories with AI — you need an idea and a hundred bucks a month. That's exactly who the FutureVision XPRIZE wants to see competing. Learn more + Register: https://t.co/bUG6jZVovo

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

AI filmmaking doesn't have to break the bank. @PJaccetturo says a standard Higgsfield or Freepik subscription — unlimited images, unlimited video animations — runs less than $100/month. Do it yourself on a plan like that, and this genuinely isn't expensive.

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

Join us tomorrow at 2pm PT with @OfficialLoganK (Google AI Studio, ex-OpenAI, ex-Apple ML) as he breaks down how he actually ships fast — taking initiative and using iteration speed as an almost unfair advantage. Register here: https://t.co/oN1iv6buhQ

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

We're going live NOW with @circle to break down what it actually takes for AI agents to pay and get paid on their own — plus a first look at the $50K Agentic Payments Prize we're hosting with them. Watch here: https://t.co/MhCmljxcp2

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

Join us and @circle to discuss the new Agentic Economy Prize. We start at 1pm PT.

Software is starting to pay for itself. Agents are beginning to hold funds, buy the services they need, and settle up with other agents on their own. Most of it is still demos.

This prize is for the teams making it real.

We're putting an extra $50,000, funded by Circle, behind the startup team that best shows AI agents autonomously making and receiving payments as a working part of a real business. It sits on top of the prizes already offered in the Build with Gemini XPRIZE. One prize. One winner.

And who here is competing Future Vision XPRIZE?

Who here is competing for the Build with Gemini XPRIZE?

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

If you're building something and dreading the "make content about it" part, this is your reminder that faceless works — and Build with Gemini XPRIZE wants builders shipping like this. Learn more + Register: https://t.co/ZndCkhdKQb

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

You don't have to be on camera to make marketing work. @FarzaTV 's friend built a workout app, never showed his face or used his voice once — just AI-generated anime characters working out, posted on TikTok. that app now does $3M/year in revenue.

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

A film trailer needs the same discipline: three concrete things it must land, not a vague pitch. That precision is what FutureVision XPRIZE wants from filmmakers: https://t.co/bUG6jZVovo

[Moonshots @moonshotslive]

Rule of three, but concrete, not abstract. For F.E.A.R., Ed Lin picked exactly three things the trailer had to land: the bullet-time mechanic, the fear itself, the frenetic action. Hit those three and you have your premise, nothing more needed. @Xsolla
